Swinub (108): Rarity & Collectibility
Swinub (108) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #108/144 of the Skyridge set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Swinub (108)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Swinub (108) (Common, Skyridge #108/144) changes hands at roughly $15.02, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $15.02, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.02, Lightly Played $29.46, Moderately Played $18.88, Heavily Played $12.00, Damaged $7.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Swinub (108) is valued near $171.50 — about 11x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Swinub (108): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Swinub (108) sits around $171.50 — roughly 11x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $59.00, CGC 9.5 $52.00, PSA 8 $9.50 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
